# --description--

The `rods` dictionary will represent the three rods with their disks. Give it the strings `'A'`, `'B'`, and `'C'` as keys and set each of them to an empty list.

# --hints--

Your `rods` dictionary should have an `'A'` key.

```js
({ test: () => assert(__pyodide.runPython(`'A' in __locals.get("rods")`)) })

```

`rods['A']` should be an empty list.

```js
({ test: () => assert(__pyodide.runPython(`
    a = __locals.get("rods")
    a['A'] == []
  `))
})
```

Your `rods` dictionary should have a `'B'` key.

```js
({ test: () => assert(__pyodide.runPython(`'B' in __locals.get("rods")`)) })

```

`rods['B']` should be an empty list.

```js
({ test: () => assert(__pyodide.runPython(`
    a = __locals.get("rods")
    a['B'] == []
  `))
})
```

Your `rods` dictionary should have a `'C'` key.

```js
({ test: () => assert(__pyodide.runPython(`'C' in __locals.get("rods")`)) })

```

`rods['C']` should be an empty list.

```js
({ test: () => assert(__pyodide.runPython(`
    a = __locals.get("rods")
    a['C'] == []
  `))
})
```
